The f.u.n.k.e. SENERGIE GmbH, originated in 2005, is now one of the most renowned and – with more than 75 employees – also fastest growing manufacturer of Combined Heat and Power generation units in Germany. Based in the south of Germany, SENERGIE is the CHP specialist within the f.u.n.k.e. Group. When it comes to the power and heat generation from natural and liquid gas, biogas, sewage gas and other gaseous fuels (e.g. hydrogen), we are your reliable partner. The business model of f.u.n.k.e. SENERGIE is called cogeneration and intelligent combined heat and power systems (CHPS). The latter should become cleaner, more efficient and thus economically and ecologically sensible – this is being researched, developed and worked on by the Senergie team with passion and endurance. The strong market share in CHPS for sewage biogas is based on our strong customer focus. Our slim company set-up allows us to cover most of the customer's needs. The more efficient use of energies in a society that is strongly dependent on energy generation is our driving force and imperative. Thereby, our expertise is our guarantee for success: Not only was founding member, Hendrik Lorenz, involved in the invention of the first compact CHPS, everyone in the team had already gained first-hand experience in decentralized energy generation. Distribution and marketing are located in Engen, and CHPS with electrical power outputs – covering the wide power spectrum of 30 to 500 kWel for natural gas, liquid gas, sewage gas, biogas and special gases – are developed and produced at our manufacturing site in Heitersheim. In addition, we manufacture plants for gas cleaning, lubricating oil stations and other customer-specific special solutions. We rely on tried-and-tested engine technology from LIEBHERR and MWM Brazil. The CHPS peripherals consist of brand name components of established manufacturers such as SIEMENS, BOSCH, APROVIS, HEINZMANN, GRUNDFOS, LEROY SOMER and others, with the advantage of guaranteed long-term spare parts availability. These components meet our stringent requirements, ensure highest overall quality and, thus, also availability of the aggregates. The motor and generator of a CHPS are mounted on a solid base frame where the exhaust gas heat exchanger, the exhaust gas silencer, the plate heat exchanger with mixing valve, as well as cooling and heating water pump, expansion tank and the auxiliary oil tank, are integrated. All connections are on the front side of the CHP module. The acoustic enclosure is supported on the substructure and ensures a comfortable noise level of about 70 dBA. Disassembly is not necessary for maintenance work. The doors can be folded into packages and revolved by 180 degrees. There are no supports or stanchions which hinder accessibility. Our built-on module control with touch panel is preferably based on SIEMENS S7 technology. It can be equipped with higher level functions on request. The control unit and power connections are accommodated in the built-on switch gear cabinets. Prior to delivery, all modules are operated and measured on our test bench.

Albgaubad Ettlingen - Public Pool in Ettlingen
Natural gas plant: After renovation and modernisation of the indoor swimming pool, the Senergie CHP plant was commissioned in November 2010. Self-sufficiency and local supply: The CHP plant supplies the Albgaubad swimming pool with electricity and heat. The Buhlsche Mühle conference centre in Ettlingen is also supplied with waste heat via a local heating network. Surplus electricity is fed into the local electrical grid. CHP concept, technical data: A Senergie CHP plant (type 9406 TI) was installed. The turbo-charged gas engine has an electrical output of 250kW and thermal output of 349kW. Any additional heat produced is transferred by condensing heat exchangers and exhaust air heat pumps and stored in a 7m3 buffer storage tank to supply the swimming pool and the Buhlsche Mühle with approx. 440kW of heat. The fuel requirement of the CHP plant totals 672kW and it has an annual operating time of 6800h.

Biogas plant Allgäuer
Operator profile: The BGA Allgäuer biogas plant has been operated jointly by Stadtwerke Feldkirch (Feldkirch's public services company) and farmer Daniel Allgäuer since December 2007. Stadtwerke Feldkirch contributed 50% of the investment. Background: The manure of 120 cows, 150 calves and 50 male cattle as well as poultry manure, fruit scraps, grass cuttings and used frying oil from Feldkirch are processed at the biogas plant in an environmentally friendly way. CHP concept, technical data: The biogas fuels a gas engine that produces electricity via a generator. The heat also generated as a result is used partly for the biogas process and partly to heat the building and water. Senergie CHP plant (type 9408 T) with an electrical output of 200 kW designed for continuous operation was installed.

Sewage gas plant AV Lipbach-Bodensee
Sewage gas plant: After an extension of the premises, the Senergie CHP plant was commissioned in November 2010. Background: Based on available operating data, successful conversion and improved sludge digestion efficiency mean that the plant can currently expect an average gas yield of 800 -1400 m³/d. CHP concept, technical Data: A Senergie CHP plant (type G 926 TI) with an electrical output of 125 kW designed for continuous operation was installed for the recovery of sewage gas and supply of the sewage plant with electricity and heat. The CHP plant generates so much electricity from sewage gas that the sewage plant is able to produce up to approx. 60% of its own energy. There are high electricity requirements for the ventilation of aeration tanks, the final clarifier, multiple pumps and a range of lifting equipment. Heat produced by a Liebherr gas engine covers approx. 90% of the heating requirements of the sewage plant. Most of this heat is required for sludge digestion. Under extreme weather conditions, for a few days in winter, a peak-load boiler that is likewise fuelled by sewage gas is also activated.
